Richard Greenberg

"I had the opportunity the other day to screen a reel of Richard's work, and I was amazed at the uniformly high quality of his work. The fact is, he's the only guy around whose work I wish I had done."—Saul Bass, Los Angeles, October, 1994

Richard Greenberg is a motion graphics and main titles designer from Chicago.

He has a BA in industrial design and an MFA in graphic design.

After Stop won first prize at the New York Film Festival Student Competition, Richard got a job working under Pablo Ferro (Dr. Strangelove, Bullitt) in New York.

In 1991, Richard moved to Hollywood and formed Greenberg/Schluter with Bruce Schluter and together they designed the main titles for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Independence Day, the Lethal Weapon series, and The Matrix.
